Let's talk about Disgaea!

I am currently playing Disgaea DS.
This is awesome. I'm only on Ch. 8 right now, though.

My team so far:
Laharl (Sword)
Etna (Spear)
Flonne (Gun)
Hoggmeiser
Maderas
Nekomata
Brawler (Female) (Fists)
Blue Mage (Female) (Staff)
Samurai (Female) (Axe)
Dragon
Imp
Prinny

Anyways, what does HL stand for? This has been bugging me.

Base stats aren't a big deal if you level up a good weapon with gladiators stacked on it. Same thing with armor and sentries/dieticians. You can get around a low weapon skill by transmigrating a character who has a lot of mana and has mastered the weapon you want the result to grind with. When you transmigrate at Genius level, about 95% of weapon mastery transfers over, so the character will already be almost done with weapon training.

I suggest for the Thief you make a Samurai, throw a ton of Armsmasters (if you have the patience, 1900 is the cap) on something for them to equip and train their Sword skill. Using Winged Slayer in Cave of Ordeals 3 is a really good way to grind.
